According to the relevant report of Radio Ser on May 17, Lewandowski is about to say goodbye to Barcelona, and this situation has also caused the topic of the club to find a new center this summer to be heated up in advance. Prior to this, on May 16, Lewandowski used social media to issue a statement to confirm that he would leave Barcelona at the end of this season.
Barcelona coach Flick paid tribute to Lewandowski at the subsequent press conference. He said that he always tried his best and it was an honor to work with him. Flick also emphasized the importance of Lewandowski in the dressing room and on the pitch.
However, while Barcelona fans are still in the process of digesting the news, a question has already appeared in front of the club: Who will replace Lewandowski?
In the "Carrusel Deportivo" program of Radio Ussel, reporter Santi Ovalle revealed some of the names that Barcelona is currently paying attention to. When mentioning the ideal candidate, Ovalle said: "There are two players who can guarantee this level… to be precise, three, Mbappe is impossible, and Haaland is also impossible."
Later, he mentioned Bayern forward Kane. He said that having a player is not an option because it seems that he does not want to leave the team. However, he is very similar to Lewandowski. This person is Kane.
There are reports that Kane can be regarded as a continuity option like Lewandowski in terms of style. However, in terms of economic conditions and reality, such a deal is extremely difficult for Barcelona. Therefore, Barcelona prefers to look for forward players who are relatively younger and still have growth potential.
Against such a background, the 26-year-old man named Alvarez came into Barcelona's sight. Ovalle expressed: "Barcelona is closer to the type that Alvarez belongs to." However, he also admitted that the difficulty of this transaction is not small: "From the perspective of price, I personally think Barcelona may not be able to afford it." However, if the player himself is promoting the transfer during the summer window, then things may still change.
One player recognized by Barcelona's sports department is 24-year-old Joao Pedro. Ovalle said: "Deco likes him." However, he also reminded that Chelsea had previously invested 60 million pounds in the introduction of Joao Pedro, so it is difficult to let him go at a low price.
According to reports, Chelsea is currently considered by many European clubs as one of the teams that may have market opportunities this summer. Ovalle declared: "There is now a view that Chelsea has to sell people." Under the influence of the Financial Fair Play policy, this situation may create room for negotiation for many clubs, including Barcelona.
